another quick tip: enable the cookie banners and annoyances filters in ublock origin!

I love the idea of NoScript, but so many page wont work with NoScript running so I just don't use it :( That's not a NoScript problem, just how web pages are being made.

@RotatingParts but you're aware you may differentiate ? 🤔 https://blog.jeaye.com/assets/noscript/intro-ab3b72460d678a8c7bb2e733eac2ae91eb758029e1598710422ba757335a27c5.png

The issue I have is: what is your method to sync scripts changed on your phone to your PC? I could not find any way to automate this and currently just do a manual, monthly merge ritual.

Yes, and I end up with such a long list it just doesn't work for me. I'm sure I'll give it another try at one point, but in the end it just is such a headache for me.

I would be happy to provide you my own NoScript configuration. I stuck through all the tinkering and reloading to find the minimal scripts that work across a wide variety of sites, so I could pass the export data to you if you'd like.

My problem is figuring out how to autosync what I enable on one website across other devices of mine; manual merging seems to be the only thing that works so far, so I do this ritual monthly.

@RotatingParts well, the "list" is the idea, just do it step by step 👍

Wrong, use Vivaldi.

No AI crap and no ads, it's amazing
